Theme Thursday: Tan Skin, White Hair
I have a soft spot for this combination. So gorgeous. ♥♥♥
Theme Thursday: Dark Mori Girl
Dark Mori girl is Mori girl’s more gothic sister. The baggy and layered silhouette and the nature and vintage motifs are still there, but the lace is tattered, the flowers and feathers are dark (or even dead and dry), the make up is more striking and primal,and the cute woodland fauna are replaced with skulls and skeletons.
As ShadyOaks on Tumblr puts it:
“If a mori girl is a sheep, the black forest girl is the wolf. She and the romantic goth have many interests in common, the metaphysical and the macabre are as fascinating and beautiful a facet of nature as life and light. Rather than letting the “memento mori” idea get them down in the dumps, they allow it to let them appreciate living while respecting death.”
I’ve been recently toying with the idea of dressing up Blair in dark mori girl fashion. There is a mystery in her eyes that I can’t quite put a finger on; I only know that she has a darker side to her. I’ve also been stalking the DoA marketplace for a Minifee Miyu SP head, which would be perfect for dark mori!Blair. Ahh, ideas, ideas. Now if only my income was directly proportionate to my wants!
Theme Thursday: Ombré Hair on Dolls
Ombré hair is a huge trend right now, especially among celebrities and fashion bloggers. I find it really pretty, and I love seeing it on dolls, too!
Theme Thursday: Nudibranchs
Oh Mother Nature, you are freaky awesome! 8D
Theme Thursday: Pomeranian Love
The Pomeranian is one of my favorite dog breeds. Look how fluffy they are! I just want to pet and hug and squish them forever~♥♥♥
I’ve always wanted a pet dog, but I don’t have the space nor the resources to care for one. Maybe when I have my own place, I’ll have a spritely Pom to brighten up my home. :3
Theme Thursday: Rilakkuma & Korilakkuma
Despite my initial indifference towards Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma, I slowly but surely learned to love the cute, poker-faced bears. They are too cute. Now I want a little Rilakkuma or Korilakkuma toy on my office desk! ; 3;
Theme Thursday: Deer
I think deer are such beautiful creatures. They carry themselves with both grace and power, which is probably why they have captured human imagination for ages. They are often found in myths, legends and fantasy stories as familiars to the gods and faerie folk. They’re also used as a symbol of strength, which is why the image of the deer has also been used as sigils by noble families from various cultures.
Theme Thursday: Decora
Decora is another outrageous fashion style that started in Japan. This style reminds me of Lisa Frank’s artwork because of all the bright colors and cutesy, childish accessories they use in their outfits. It’s like a throwback to the ’90s (my childhood!), only with the rainbow vomit multiplied by the thousands! I love it, haha!
Theme Thursday: Dolls & Flowers
“Dolls and flowers” is a cliché subject in BJD photography, but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the beauty of such photos. I just love how sweet and tender they tend to look.
Theme Thursday: Levitation
I love seeing levitation photos. There’s something fascinating about the feeling of weightlessness. It reminds me of Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, of touching the clouds, of floating in space, and other things light and whimsical. :3
About
Hello, I'm Kass, a graphic designer from the Philippines. I maintain I'm Catching Fireflies, a blog centered around my love for ball-jointed dolls, art, design, and mori girls.
This Tumblr is a mirror site of sorts for my main blog. I'm very much inspired by anime & manga, K-pop, and other quirky things, so you can expect those things to pop up here from time to time as well.
Got a question? Ask away!
